COV Dasice Wastewater Treatment Plant, Dašice, Pardubický kraj

COV Dasice is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Dašice, within the Pardubický kraj region of the Czech Republic. The facility serves a small population of 746 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small-town setting. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 2,930 m³/day and an average daily discharge of 485.75 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating adequate headroom for current flows. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Elbe River basin. The Elbe flows through the Czech Republic and Germany before reaching the North Sea, making the plant's performance relevant to downstream water quality in both countries.

The plant discharges into the Elbe River basin, a major Central European watershed that flows through the Czech Republic and Germany to the North Sea. The Elbe supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. Downstream ecosystems include floodplain forests and wetlands that rely on good water quality.
